Shikara

Where Vidhu Vinod Chopra got confused is he wasn’t able to make a choice between portraying a love story or a story about Kashmiri Pandits. He mixes both and that’s where it lost the charm for me. You connect with just the characters’ struggle and not an entire community’s. The tension created in some sequences is unparalleled but that’s just for those two particular lovers. Aadil Khan with an astounding presence, not only houses charm in his expressions but also pain & it instantly connects the audience. He can show on his face what is in his heart & that’s one great thing about established actors whereas this was just his first film.
